My deepest apologies to the list and all those who jumped in and helped.

The problem was this.  I have one of my alias files set to set-up a
series of environmental variables and actual aliases for easy access
between all the machines.

When I switched out from the LinkSys AC2200 and went back to my
previous router, all of those IP addresses changed - duh.

The one machine whose alias file I failed to update was my laptop.  I
just fixed that, and voila, all variables and aliases are now
functioning perfectly.

Problem solved (pilot error).

Note to the wise: if you coordinate files between machines, make sure
they are all updated around the same time.

PS: I did reboot the router, and of course everything came back, very
quickly, and the same state occurred.  I fixed the alias file and it
all works now.

Many, many thanks for all the great input.

Mark
